I LOVE my new Z24 Natural Organic Sunscreen Stick! I live in Houston, Texas and ride a motorcycle and this sunscreen stick is perfect not only for the compact size but it is great in protecting the back of my neck since that part of my body is exposed to the scorching southern heat when I'm riding. Being that it is compact, it can fit in my leather jacket or in my jeans pocket, this I love and carry it whenever I'm on my bike. I also bought this sunscreen because it is organic and I don't have to worry about the bad chemicals when applying it to my body. The convenience of its size also allows me to keep one in my purse since it does not take up too much space for when I'm running around town and needing to put sunscreen on my hands, face or my on children. Thank you so much for making such an AWESOME product! Will definitely share with my family and friends :)

Me and my husband went to Cancun. This small bar kept us BOTH from burning all week, this small bar is all we took.We were swimming, snorkeling, sweating, hiking, and in and out of chlorine pools and oceans. This stuff STICKS through all of it. Which can be good or bad depending on your desire because it does not wash off easily in the shower. But for us, it was great, we didn't have to think twice about reapplying.The only con was that it is kind of tough to rub in compared to the lotion type and spray and if not rubbed in well will leave a slightly white tinge. But while everyone else used sunscreen lotion and spray and got very burnt, me and my husband used this bar and only got slightly pink and that is only because we delayed putting in on right away one morning.Note: our skin is pale/normal and we did not tan before this trip.

I’m writing a review for this product as well as a number of other mineral sunscreen sticks (MSS) after testing a bunch of them—scroll down to point #6 below if you want to know which one I thought was the best. I’ve placed this exact review on every single other MSS I used. I specifically elected to go with mineral-based sunscreens—lots of talk on the environmental effects of the other sunscreens (not sure how much of this is actually true, but I’m willing to avoid the non-mineral sunscreens given the minimal investment on my part). Here are a few important points about this review:1. No one paid me to write this review. I put down my own $140 to get all 13 of these MSSs. I just wanted to find the best one by limiting as much bias as possible. Yes, my wife definitely gave me the you’re-crazy-but-I-guess-I’m-stuck-now look.2. Quick sunscreen tutorial. Most dermatologists say we should try to get an SPF of 30+. Each 1% of zinc counts for 1.6 SPF, so to hit SPF 30, your zinc has to be 18.75%+. Each 1% of titanium counts for 2.6 SPF, so a combination of zinc and titanium could get you to SPF 30 as well. Titanium apparently isn’t good enough to block UV-A (cancer causing and photo-aging) light on its own, so you must add zinc to it. I calculated the SPF based on the stated zinc and titanium percentages on the label and these calculations were usually different from the quoted SPFs (they might be adding more SPFs from other ingredients, but I can’t say for sure). Nine of the 13 MSSs had calculated SPFs 30+. Only 4 of the 13 had a calculated SPF greater than or equal to the label SPF.3. Because I can’t judge cancer prevention or aging blockade in the short term, avoiding burns and eye irritation are the most important immediately observable elements of an MSS. Every MSS I tested did equally well in burn avoidance and eye irritation avoidance.4. It should be noted that I’m not Caucasian, I’m South Asian. If you don’t know what that is exactly, Wikipedia it or watch some Russell Peters standup comedy (his old stuff, not his new stuff). My skin color is probably similar to that of Benjamin Bratt (mind you, we’re talking about his skin color only… I’m not even in the same galaxy of overall looks as he is, much to my wife’s chagrin). The ability of a white-colored MSS to blend is crucial for me. And yes, even brown people like me need sunscreen. It would absolutely suck for me as a South Asian to have a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, skillfully dodge those bullets with diet and exercise and luck, only to get taken out by skin cancer.5. I like most scents. It seems like so many things are going unscented now—an MSS that is truly unscented is okay, but a lot of things labeled “unscented,” actually have an odd, unpleasant (sort of like bad oatmeal) smell to them. The scent score is logged as a “3” if it’s truly unscented, a “5” if it has a great scent, and a “1” if it smells bad.6. Here’s the final conclusion. Only 3 of the 13 MSSs I tested had the following combination of characteristics: calculated SPF 30+, smell score 3+, and blend score 4+. These top three were: Neutrogena Sheer Zinc, Aveeno Positively Mineral, and Blue Lizard. When you factor in cost, it’s a no-brainer—Neutrogena and Aveeno were only half the cost of Blue Lizard. Therefore, my two winners (tied for first place) are Neutrogena Sheer Zinc and Aveeno Positively Mineral. Honorable mention for Blue Lizard—twice as expensive as the others, but might be slightly easier to maneuver on your face given the smaller size stick (this is a stretch compliment for Blue Lizard—I think NSZ and APM are just better).Hope this helps you select your next mineral sunscreen stick!A^2

I tested this new product that I have seen online & was highly recommended by a friend, at first I was skeptical since I thought it was just going to be another new sunblock with a nice packaging. I have been using sunblock all my life since I have a very sensitive skin & exposed to the sun for the most part. When I tried this product on, it really made me feel protected. It stayed on all day without the greasy feeling, it never made me uncomfortable under the heat of the sun, as if I was not wearing anything at all. It is ultra-light & above all, the ingredients are all-natural meaning it does not contain any harmful ingredients like the most sun protectors because it is mineral-base. Also, it comes in a twist-up solid gel so it does not spill, reasonably priced & yields remarkable performance! Just the perfect sunblock for me & will never switch again.

Pros: it is made from non toxic ingredients. Yay. It’s tiny size might make it good for back packing.Cons: it is very small (0.5 oz). It is like a tiny underarm deodorant stick. It's tiny size Is not made clear in the listing.Overall i consider this a poor value. The listing is deceptive. I returned it for refund.

This product is nothing short of FABULOUS! I am EXTREEMLY fair skinned, looked for months on internet for a pure, clean product, my skin tolerates NOTHING! Well I found it!!!! Vacationed in the West Indies for 9 days. I have a most remarkable TAN. Yes, to my astonishment a beautiful TAN, not a single hint of a burn, on beach 6 or more hours everyday. I also used their lotion AND I did SLATHER it on in a good amount on every area exposed and only did so once!!!!! I still have plenty of the stick left as I only used it on my face, the small lotion bottle was almost completely finished after the 9 days. And REMARKABLY, my skin stayed as blemishless as alway!!!!! Now I have the most awesome product to use on my Grandkids, too!!! Thank you to the manufacturer for a most miraculous product for me!!!!!!!!

Seems to work. Goes on nice. White fades away to clear when you rub it in. Smaller than expected. Not like a standard deodorant size. But, some of the other organic products are the same size.
